DELL LCD SCREEN FLICKERS: PINCH TO STOP dlholley@gmail.com 04-07-2008

I have a Dell cpx laptop that the screen sometimes starts to flicker.
Sometimes it goes almost totally blank. I have noticed that if I
squeeze the right side, around the vertical center of the screen edge,
that the flickering will stop as long as I hold some pressure on it.
Does this lead you to believe it is a poor connection of some sort or
a failing part? Is my best bet just to replace the whole lid assembly
and all? Is this where the lcd inverter is located?
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
David

This response is the comp.sys.laptop entry in the most useless response
cataegory of the 2008 newsnet awards.

But I should point out that there is some stiff competition this year ;-)

Thanks I try...

ok

Question #1: YES
Question #2: YES
Question #3: NO
Question #4: YES

I would even be inclined to sell him a tested inverter for about $5.00
(I have about 50 of them).
I just really don't feel like it.

How's that for useless?

As the OP only asked 3 questions, which one do you think you made up?
